Branko Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi, thank you for new BBB-Version (6.20). But I cannot start the Image: I burn with Etcher to SD Card. But SD card is not recognized. Tried several cards. If I use older 5.00 Image everything is OK. BR Branko Link to comment

Yes, that is the plan... Thanks Antonello. I watched the memory usage until it stabilized as you suggested. This was still using GP version 6.10 and Firefox. It still didn't work. I then ran gp-update and updated portage from the command line as it advised me to do so. After this any attempt to run scripts (without using the ram system now!) from the web interface failed (it said permission denied or something like that). I wonder if I made a mess of permissions somehow as I updated portage from root??? Anyhow, I'm starting again with GP 6.20 and Google Chrome. I'll come back to you if I still can't get the ram system working once I've set things up again. Cheers. Link to comment

I've an old machine though (sounds better to me than newer ones I've tried) so it's the bios version I need rather than uefi. Don't worry if that's not available yet, I'll try to get 6.20 working.

the_bat Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 The memory footprint seems to have grown with recent releases which leads to issues with RamSystem modes. I'm running 6.20 and if I use Mode 4 to run RoonBridge the system shows in Roon for a few seconds and then disappears. SystemInfo shows only a few tens of MB free memory at start. Is there anything I can do about this, or do I need to start thinking about moving to a Pi 4 as RamSystem mode is one of the key reasons for using GenTooPlayer. Link to comment

antonellocaroli Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 @the_bat you can enable ssh if it is not enabled and try Mod3 without WI... eventually you can disable ramsystem if you need to from shell with ramsystem_disable GentooPlayer home Facebook Documentation Link to comment

So I tried burning the v6.3 image on another sd card and it seems stuck while proceeding with the initial installation ? How much time should I have to wait (128GB sandisk sd card) Link to comment
